Last Oct-Nov. I decided that I'd love to see tulips bloom in front of my house in Volente come next Spring. So I diligently prepped the bulbs (50 multi-colored) by refrigerating them for six weeks then planting them per instruction on the package. I thought it's not so hard...especially come spri...

Has anyone had any experience using Brother MFC-9840CDW Multifunction Printer: NEW Brother MFC-9840CDW Multifunction Printer? I'd welcome all thoughts on this or similar laser printers. I'm trying to decide if I need to spend some money to get a decent laser printer for my RE marketing flyers and...

As we begin another home selling season, I just want to remind fellow women Realtors to practice safety first in dealing with clients/customers especially if you've never met before. I received an email from a friend Realtor in Austin, TX that I thought I'd share. It is safety tips for all girls ...

I just read a featured blog on AR how one Realtor didn't get any response to her initial blogging since she joined 6 weeks ago. Now she is rather overwhelmed with informational overload in AR and asking people's advise. That post alone got 68+ comments. That's a fantastic response when you consid...

I'm shopping for an ideal color laser printer for my home office. I plan on printing out minimum of 300 to 600 real estate post cards and flyers per month. I'm thinking of getting either Ricoh Aficio SPC210SF or Ricoh AficioTMSP C220S All-In-One Laser Printer. Has any Realtor in AR had used these...

I believe we (Austinites) are named the most wired, techiest city folks in the U.S. I guess that also means that we are geekiest? I think most of us don't mind being geeky. University of Texas in Austin is ranked 5th in the nation for public education institution and among top 10 in overall U.S. ...

I know probably I'm just blogging to myself, but still something to celebrate. My last blog ranked me 624th AR member in TX rather than 666th. I'm happy about it even if noone shares my joy ;) I hope my real estate business really takes off in 2009 home selling season. I want to take numerous RE ...

Hey, call me superstitious, but I've got to get my ranking better than the 666th AR member in TX. I've been watching some of the History International doomsday programs. Although I've a healthy dose of skepticism for those doomsday prophecies, I don't particularly like the number 666...perhaps al...

For listing Realtors who are looking for ways to save their clients money during these tough economic times, I thought I would share great, practical, no-cost/low cost tips I got from Realtor Online along with my own observations:http://www.realtor.org/rmohome_and_design/articles/2009/0902_househ...

Well, I just took a little quiz on Realtor Online: http://www.realtor.org/RMOQuiz2.nsf/HomebuyerQuiz?OpenForm asking what real estate clients want from their realtors and the reasons for buying/selling their homes. Needless to say that I didn't know my market as well as I thought. For instance, t...
